I drove a couple of hours to look one over but it barely made it around the block, it was running so badly. The cramped space is a big factor for me. I’ve heard series III stretched it a bit but haven’t found one to try yet...Tom Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747040890064999594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061128425873781737.post-7033773486131866232017-12-31T10:53:26.415-08:002017-12-31T10:53:26.415-08:00Hi Tom, I can say that the car has a softness in c...Hi Tom, I can say that the car has a softness in cornering while stilling fairly rigid. I don&#39;t have enough time in a Healy or Triumph to compare, but one thing I have never noticed is cowl shake. Then again, I&#39;m not throwing it super hard into corners. Comparing it to my 1968 Datsun Roadster and my 1967 Corvette roadster, I can say that the Jag is far smoother on turn-in, it handles potholes and bumps very nicely, but presents more body roll than the smaller, stiffer Datsun but less so than the heavy Corvette. My guess is that in 1961 it was better than most out there but by 1969 others had definitely caught up.David J.

Jaguar went to a lot of trouble with inboard brakes and independent rear links. I’m wondering how it turned out. When new, do you think the car was outstanding compared with competition such as Healy, Lotus, and Triumph? I can imagine that big front cowl shakes quite a bit.
